Easy Beer Burgers Recipes

SMOKY BEER BURGERS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Place the meat in a bowl and add the cheese. Peel the onion and halve it, if using the medium onion. Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping. Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer then form 4 large patties making them a little thinner at the center than at edges. Burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
• Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
• Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.

REALLY EASY BEEFBURGERS

Steps:

• Flavour the meat: Put the meat in a mixing bowl, then sprinkle over the chilli powder and a little salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands or use a fork. The mild chilli powder gives the meat added flavour without making it too spicy.
• Shape into burgers: Divide the mixture into 4 equal pieces, then shape with your hands into round burgers about the width of the buns, or pack the mixture into large presentation rings (if you have them) placed on a chopping board. You need to press down on the meat to compact it, then carefully lift off the rings - a bit like making sandcastles.
• Now get cooking: Fry the burgers on a hot griddle or grill them outside on the barbecue for 5 mins on each side, turning them carefully with a metal spatula. Take care as hot fat from the meat may spit a little.
• Top with cheese and toast the buns: If you want to make cheeseburgers, put a slice of cheese on top of the burgers when you turn them over and let it melt while the other side cooks. When they are ready, cut the burger baps in half and warm them in the toaster or on the barbecue - take care that you don't burn them.
• Prepare the toppings: Meanwhile, prepare the toppings of your choice. Separate the lettuce into leaves. Then, using a sharp knife, thinly slice the tomato, cucumber and gherkin on a separate board to the one you prepared the burgers on. Peel and finely chop the red onion.
• Assemble and enjoy: Spread a little mayonnaise or ketchup - or both if you like - onto the toasted buns, then top with your burgers and salads of your choice, followed by the remaining half bun.

BEER BURGERS

Steps:

• Sauté onion, garlic, thyme and oregano over medium heat until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Let this cool completely.
• Add ground beef, onion mixture and egg together in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly blended. Slowly stir in stout beer, while mixing. You may want to add less beer than called for here if you find it is getting too thin, or more yet. Then add parsley, celery salt and black pepper and mix well. It's ideal to mix using your hands and you may want to wear rubber gloves for this.
• Form into 6 patties and let sit in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up a bit.
• Preheat grill to 375°F.
• Place patties onto the grill and cook until well-done (170°F internal temperature), turning once, about 8-10 minutes per side.

• Top burgers with ketchup and pickle planks; serve on buns.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes before flipping them over. Cook the burgers to the desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
